Do you believe Burna Boy signed a slave contract merely to get international notoriety?

Burna Boy is the stage name of Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu MFR, who is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer.

After releasing "Like to Party," the main

song off his debut studio album, L.I.F.E., in 2012, he became famous.

Burna Boy still has a net worth of less than $20M after earning over $150 Million in royalties from his music, shows, and other activities in 2022.

Along with well-known artists in the business like NBA YoungBoy and Jack Hallow, Burna Boy is signed to one of the most potent record labels.

Anyone familiar with NBA YoungBoy's handles will attest to the fact that this record company has the best marketing in the business.

According to trustworthy sources, Burna Boy's decision to sign with this label was significantly motivated by his desire to establish himself as a well-known African artist rather than by his desire to maximize the potential earnings.

To put it another way, the record company receives the majority of the royalties earned from his music and performances, as was the case with his song Last Last, from which Burna Boy ultimately received only 10%.
